SYRACUSE — The werewolf and vampire are important parts of the “Twilight” series, but where would they be without a girl to fight over?Black Island Farms have once again gone to the “Twilight” books for the inspiration for their corn mazes, this year basing them on “Eclipse” and bringing in a Bella maze to join the returning Jacob and Edward mazes. The Bella maze also has the title of the book/movie that served as the inspiration, as well as the movie tagline “It all begins with a choice.”
The farm received international coverage on their 2009 maze, which was based on “New Moon” and featured only the two boys.
“It’s so hard to pick a new maze design,” said Dorathy Law, whose family has been doing the maze for the last six years. “So we’re lucky we ran across this.”
The Laws cross-plant their corn so that it forms a grid, then design their maze so that it also follows a grid pattern. Law’s husband and son then take backpack sprayers full of sports field paint, carefully counting the rows and columns and spraying the corn according to the design.
The final maze covers 28 acres, and according to Law normally takes about an hour to complete.
Once guests make it out of the maze, the farm also features more than 20 other attractions including a Nightmare Acres maze, cow train rides, pumpkin patch hayrides, pig races, and more.
